chapter 12; santa the cloud

As soon as Luke's hand left mine, the warmth I felt before was gone.

I sighed and got up from the table to put my plate in the sink. I heard a honk outside and saw Luke was waiting in his car.

"I'm coming, I'm coming ", I said to myself as I put on my shoes and exited the house. I made my way to Luke's old car and sat down in it.

"Can I have the directions?"Luke asked. "Oh that'll take to long. Let me drive", I said. I hadn't drove a car in a while and missed the feeling of control. Luke looked at me funny.

"What? You think just because you're the guy you always have to drive me everywhere? " I questioned with a smirk.

Luke just shrugged and said "Switch seats". Instead of getting out of the car, he unbuckled and got up in his seat and moved his long legs over the middle of the car to my seat. I did the same.

I buckled up and started reversing.  I knew the way to the psychologists' office like the back of my hand.

There was silence in the car. The normelly happy and cheeky Luke Hemmings, was quiet and seemed a little off.

"Luke, are you okay?" I asked when we stopped at a light.

"Mmhm, I'm fine. Just thinking ", he replied as he looked down at his hands.

"About what?" I questioned.

"Stuff", he replied blankly. He hadn't looked at me ever since I started driving.

"Luke", I said as I extended my hand to cup his face and turn it towards me,"you can talk to me."

"I know, but this time I dont think I can. ", Luke replied. His words hurt me. What could he be thinking about that he couldn't tell me?

The light turned green and started to drive. I pulled up to the office and parked infront. It was a small gray building with no windows and a black sign that said "Dr.Remoray".

I exited the car and started to walk into the building with Luke on my other side. He slouched along.

"Um hi. I'm Macy Nichols ", I told the receptionist. She nodded and checked me in. "Have a seat ", she said and I walked over to the seats.

Luke was all ready sitting there, playing with a rubix cube.

"Have you ever solved one before?" he asked.

"No, but this kid in my class would solve them in 45 seconds", I replied.

"I like rubix cubes. They're complex and diverse. Just when you think you've got it, there's this little square that messes it all up.", said Luke. He continued to look at the cube.

"Mhm ", I replied as I grabbed Luke's hand. Ever since we slept together, I've been craving his touch.

I held his hand in mine and examined it. His fingers looked delicate, like the kind that lightly skim the water. His hands were rough and had many lines on the palm. I started to faintly trace the lines when the doctor called me.

I stood up and followed the doctor, Luke mimicking me.

Inside the room, I sat down on a chair. Luke did to.

"Hello Macy, how is everything?", Dr.Remoray asksed.

"It's going pretty good actually!", I replied with a smile.

The doctor returned my smile. "That's good", she whispered to herself as she wrote down some notes.

"Have you been doing things that make you happy? " she asked.

"I have, but winter is coming up and the water will get colder", I said. I looked over at Luke nervously tapping his foot.

"Ah yes,  that sucks. ", the doctor said.

She wrote down a few more notes and asked some more questions before she said "It seems like this boy has been keeping you happy. That's good. I don't think I'll be seeing you for a while as long as you're with him", she smiled and exited the door.

The doctor was right, Luke made me very happy.

"Let's go", I said to him.

We walked out of the office and I unlocked the car. I sat down in the drivers seat and realized that Luke's tall figure wasn't in sight. I opened the car door and looked outside to see Luke sitting in the grass . "Come here Macy", he said as he patted the grass next to him. I shuffled my feet and made my way next to him. He was lying flat on the ground, so I did too.

"Look, there's a dog riding a motorbike", Luke said as he pointed to a cloud.

"Not even, it looks more like a sea horse with a very long tail!", I chuckled.

"Okay okay, but that one is definatly Santa Clause", he said with a smile. 

"Yes, you're right about that one", I laughed. Luke joined in and soon our laughter filled the air. We were laughing at a freakin cloud.

I sat up. "There are no more clouds", I said with dismay.

Luke also sat up and pulled me into his arms . "I'm sorry for not telling you what was wrong before and being a total emotionless dick today. ", he said.

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me anything. "., I replied.

"But I want to. In the car and in the office I was just thinking about something involving you", Luke uttered.

"What about me?", I asked. 

Luke took a deep breath. "Iknowwebothhavefeelingsforeachotherandiknowyoudontwanttogethurtbutipromiseiwonthurtyousomaybedoyoukindawannabemygirlfriendimeanidontwanttodestroy—"

I cut off Luke by pressing my lips to his. They felt just as magical as they did this morning. Luke toppeled back onto the grass so my body was now on top of him. Our lips never left each others and it was becoming harder and harder to breathe. His hands travelled up and all around my back, sending goosebumps to my skin. He felt then and I could feel his smile against our lips. My hands travelled under his shirt to feel his strong stomach. We stayed there kissing until a car honked at us. Apperently there was a no making out on the lawn rule. We both got up and applogized. Both of us were giggling and we made our way to sit in the car.

"Drop me home, please", I said to Luke, still smiling.  I could still feel the taste of his lips on mine. 

"Aww we were just getting started! Are you sure you don't wanna makeout in the back of my car...maybe get naked...", Luke said playfully. I slapped him on the arm and politely declined his great offer.

"Save it for tommorow Lucas, I don't get naked on the first date", I joked and he laughed with me.

I was falling for this seaspray smelling boy, but I was ready for what ever would come. Luke said himself that he wouldn't hurt me, and I trusted Luke enough to know that.
